I was 17 reading 1st few of the EE Doc Smith Lensman paperbacks into 1st of Navy days & never really finished the Series. But enjoyed the read that I did finish !! Its been 48 years but still remember the purple plant that was like heroin & the Lensmen were like Narcotic Officers trying to bust the drug Cartel-- like it was a whole Planet growing this purple plant !!
I read Triplanetary for the first time this month and found it a slog. I do own the hardcover Chronicles Vol 1, but suspect I might just move it along.

Was it called Purple Haze? :)

We each read to the beat of our own drummer.
I stopped reading that prequel long before I stopped reading the others. I recently listened to all the rest via audiobooks.
@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv Oh interesting. So maybe worth giving a shot to at least one more in the series.
@@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv I've decided to skim it, at least.
